    I found the issue. The two fields with scope ‘post’ where creating to objects – one with an ID and one without (class-piklist-form.php 2942-2968). The object with an ID saved as a revision post (accounting for one of the two posts). The object without an ID went to wp_insert_post. The foreach on 2991 is responsible. I got around this by deleting one of the ‘post’ fields and adding ‘object_id’ => $id

    
$id = get_the_ID();

// Where to save this form
piklist('field', array(
	'type' => 'hidden'
	,'scope' => 'post'
	,'object_id' => ($id ? $id : null)
	,'field' => 'post_type'
	,'value' => 'custom_post_type_1'
));

/* 
// New post ID
piklist('field', array(
	'type' => 'hidden'
	,'scope' => 'post'
	,'object_id' => ($id ? $id : null)
	,'field' => 'ID'
	,'value' => ($id ? $id : '')
));
*/

    It seems to be working on my end. Please let me know if I’m doing anything wrong. If not, I’ll address the other related posts:

    I’m sorry, I don’t understand what you are saying. I am now using 

    
add_action( 'piklist_save_field-post', 'my_grab_new_post_id' );
function my_grab_new_post_id ( $fields ) {
	global $my_new_post_id;
	$my_new_post_id = $fields['ID']['object_id'];
}

add_filter( 'wp_redirect', 'my_stick_new_post_id_in_redirect', 10, 2 );
function my_stick_new_post_id_in_redirect ( $location, $status ) {
	global $my_new_post_id;
	return( $location."?_post[ID]=$my_new_post_id" );	
}

    in my functions.php but I the redirect is not doing anything and I am still creating two posts. What code should I use to implement the example URL you supplied?

    Best,

    Ryan

    Thanks @Steve, but I didn’t see anything in that file regarding saving to an already created CPT. I fixed the dependency issue (LayersWP and Piklist weren’t playing nice in this special circumstance), so that’s no problem anymore.

    Now, I have another problem. Using the code I provided earlier:

    $id = get_the_ID();
// Where to save this form
piklist('field', array(
	'type' => 'hidden'
	,'scope' => 'post'
	,'field' => 'post_type'
	,'value' => 'custom_post_type_1'
));

// New post ID
piklist('field', array(
	'type' => 'hidden'
	,'scope' => 'post'
	,'field' => 'ID'
	,'value' => ($id ? $id : '')
	,'required' => false,
));

    Piklist not only creates a new post (which I don’t want), but it creates ANOTHER new post with the meta from my specified post (from $id). When I submit, I now create two posts.

    If it helps, I found this in class-piklist-form.php on line 3392:

    $id = isset($object['ID']) ? wp_update_post($object) : wp_insert_post($object);

    How do I save the post meta on the front-end of the post I want to update?

    Thanks,

    Ryan
